Re: I'm looking to buy a new PC so I gotta ask...

["Holden Tommy" <Tommy.Holden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't need more monitors just the additional graphics processing and RAM
(I could be wrong...and often am...) but when using 2 video cards
strapped together in SLI not just give the additional boost? Or does it
just let me add additional mointors?  If it's just adding capability for
additional monitors then I'll opt for a bigger video card instead of the
dual card config... 


Thanks,
Tommy Holden

Now I'm confused.  You said below that " not ready to jump the the dual
monitors"

To me, that sounded like you did want more monitors.  That why I asked
what
good 2 video cards would be used for.

Oh well....not the first time I've been confused.
